Algebra, chapter I, § 1. Laws of composition; associativity; commutativity

The centralizer of a magma EE is called the centre of EE. An element of the centre of EE is called a central element of EE.

If EE is an associative magma its centre is a stable subset by the Corollary to Proposition 3 and the law induced on its centre is commutative.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
